About Mike Vickers
Michael Graham Vickers is an English musician who came to prominence as the guitarist, flautist, and saxophonist with the 1960s band Manfred Mann. At the end of 1965, Vickers quit Manfred Mann, although his first solo album, I Wish I Were a Group Again, did not appear until 1968. As the group were all multi-instrumentalists, multi-tracking was used to allow Vickers to perform on guitar and woodwind on the same recordings, while drummer Mike Hugg similarly doubled on vibraphone. He also founded the Baker Street Philharmonic, releasing singles, EPs, and four albums between 1969 and 1972. Vickers continued as a composer and arranger for records, television shows, and films.
